Craft Corner

Craft Corner

A place to chat and share all things crafty!

What's your favourite craft? Is there anything you're working on at the moment? What would you like to create/work on (I have heaps of "one day" project patterns and ideas that I know I will probably never get around to, but it's nice to imagine)? I'd love to hear!

I have absolutely no artistic side to me and stick figures are the extent of my drawing ability, but I really enjoy learning and trying out new crafts. I learnt crochet during a stay in a prevention and recovery centre and it's something I pick up often when I am feeling blue, I need a distraction or I'm just a little bored. I've tried paper crafts too, although I didn't really get far with anything. Sharpies are some of my best friends and when I find my hands need to move I have a collection of smooth rocks that I draw on (different coloured circles) which often relaxes me. Sometimes I dust off the sewing machine and sew as well. I walk around spotlight for a fun outing 😉

Looking forward to hearing from you all 🙂

0.5 mm to 10 mm @CheerBear . Yes, finished one layer on a stone. Takes a lot of guessing out of the way, as they are numbered. Seriously good dotting tools. The lady who invented them was working through grief after the loss of her daughter. She wanted dotting to be easy. It helped her through such a rough time.

Are you managing to get any done?

Re: Craft Corner

That is seriously cool, in so many ways @Maggie! They're teeny tiny and look very serious. Love that they're numbered also - that would make easier.

I'm working on my canvas still as teeny tiny fiddly precise isn't working well with banana brain, so canvas it is. I have a set of acrylic rods which I love (coloured not numbered and not measured either) and some stylus with different sized dots (guessing game as to what size they are though). I have a bit to go with finishing mine, but I'm chipping away at it when I can. I'm looking forward to sitting down with it tonight and tomorrow though.

Dotting helps 💙

Re: Craft Corner

@CheerBear There is a set of bigger dots also. I didn’t buy those as I don’t often do big dots.

I haven’t done much over the last few weeks.....banana brains all round by the sound of things.

Enjoy tonight. Yes, dots help. 💜💕

Re: Craft Corner

I finally finished the big one I've been working on @Maggie @Gazza75 and any/all.

Like my crochet mandala blanket, it looks different from further away/closer up. The colours also don't come out very true in the pic as there's lots of metallic in it (it's gold in person not yellow etc.)

I'm happy with it and happy to have finished it now as it took a while!

Aww @Teej thanks 😊 It's seriously kept me sane (that's a stretch there haha). I'm very glad I have had this to focus on and time out to.

Thanks @outlander ❤
